The methods and materials used depends on what material you’re treating!
Can you find out if you’re dealing with Steel, Aluminium, “Alclad” or any form of Magnesium Alloy?
This info should be in the “spec” of repair materials – if you have a repair manual…
Try this:

Alternatively try describing the type of corrosion you can see.

Peter,
The paint manual is uploaded on a different link for someone else, it might die, so if it does let me know and I can upload it again, first time round it had 499 downloads and I only posted it in here LOL

Additionally the FAA has a good section that explains the causes and their treatment see

This has been laid out in an easier to source format here
